IntroductionThis award is a doctoral dissertation improvement grant. It supports research on the history of scientific and literary work in post-Enlightenment France with a focus on the normative conditions for acquiring knowledge that emerged as science and creative writing evolved into separate, autonomous pursuits. In particular, the award funds archival research on the letters of Pierre-Simon Laplace and manuscripts of Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Archival research will serve to reveal their strategies for developing and promoting criteria for knowledge associated with the exact sciences and physiology. Intellectual MeritThe works and correspondence of these two major scientists and public figures have not received due attention. These documents are pertinent to understanding the contentious character of the dispute involved in the process of mutual definition that made referring to literature and science as distinct fields possible in France. The project aims to show that the emergence of separate scientific and literary fields characteristic of modernity came at the price of networks that spanned an integrated cultural space. The project will involve methodological and theoretical innovations that facilitate relating both scientific and literary texts, and history of science and science studies methods in new ways.Broader Impact.The theoretical and methodological innovations to be implemented in this project should be applicable to a range of other historical contexts where the dynamics organizing competition and innovation are weak, decentralized or in flux. In addition to planned publications in professional journals, this innovative approach will be the subject of two academic seminars at UC-Berkeley, one focused on methodological concerns for discussion with literary and history of science scholars from Berkeley, and the other on integrating primary and secondary history of science texts into undergraduate curricula.

简介本奖是博士学位论文改进赠款。它支持对法国启蒙后科学和文学工作的历史的研究，重点是获取作为科学和创造性写作的知识的规范条件，演变成独立的自主追求。特别是，该奖项为Pierre-Simon Laplace的来信和ÉtienneGeoffroy Saint-Hilaire的手稿提供了档案研究。档案研究将有助于揭示其制定和促进与确切科学和生理学相关的知识标准的策略。这两个主要科学家和公众人物的知识分子优点和对应关系尚未得到适当的关注。这些文件与理解相互定义过程中涉及的争议的有争议的特征有关，这使得文学和科学是法国可能的不同领域。该项目旨在表明，以现代性为特征的单独的科学和文学领域的出现是以跨越综合文化空间的网络的代价。该项目将涉及方法和理论创新，以促进科学和文学文本以及科学和科学研究的历史。以新方式影响。BRODERIMPACT。该项目中要实施的理论和方法论创新应适用于其他一系列其他历史悠久的历史环境，在该范围内，动态组织竞争和创新是薄弱的，无效的。除了计划在专业期刊上的计划出版物外，这种创新的方法还将是加州大学伯克利分校的两个学术仪式的主题，一个专注于与伯克利文学和科学学者的讨论的方法论上的关注，另一种是将科学文本的初级和中学史整合到少年的课程中。
